With the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (METI), the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), in collaboration with 3 Japanese companies, has officially initiated a feasibility study for the production of hydrogen and ammonia fuels. This move aims to deepen the collaboration between the two countries in the development of renewable energy.
On March 4, 2023, EGAT signed a memorandum of cooperation with Chiyoda Corporation (CYD), Mitsubishi Corporation Thailand (MOL), and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MCT). The memorandum aims to explore the development of the entire supply chain for hydrogen and ammonia fuels, including production, transportation, and storage, and estimate the associated costs. The initiation ceremony took place on Monday, November 27, with the presence of the Japanese Ambassador to Thailand, Kazuya Nashida, representing Japan.
